Yellow Gold Engagement Ring Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Sunset Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

On June 10, 2026, just before 4 pm, I received a voice mail saying, “Hi, this is Mark. I’m calling Mr. Wren about finding a lost ring at Sunset Beach, NC. You can call me back at this number. Thank you.” I immediately called him back to get the details. When I called, I talked to Mark’s wife, Annemarie and she stated that she was at the beach and decided to take a swim. When she reached the water, she realized she still had her mother’s engagement ring and her grandmother’s wedding band on. She walked back up the beach, took her rings off and rolled them up in a towel to keep them safe. After a long swim, she returned to her spot and grabbed the towel to wrap herself up in and get warm. She forgot about the rings until she saw one fly out of the towel. She was able to flag down a roving lifeguard who helped find the wedding ring. I asked her if she could meet me, but she wasn’t able to until the next morning. Sunset Beach gets heavily detected, and I told her if we wait until the next day there’d be a good chance the ring would be gone. She finally told me where she had been sitting, which was under the pier. So I grabbed my detector and made the 30-minute drive. When I arrived, a good friend had also decided to hunt Sunset Beach. He always detects under the pier and then moves out east or west. I told him what I was there for and we walked out to the pier. I wasn’t real sure which section of the pier she was under. I ran into the lifeguard that helped find her wedding band and he pointed out the area. I turned my machine on and made a couple of swings and got a solid 9, showing me a yellow gold target. One scoop and I had the ring. I called her and we made arrangements for me to deliver it at 9 am the next day, which we did.

Annemarie – Thank you for allowing me to help find your mother’s engagement ring.

LOST HEIRLOOM WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING IN NORTH SPOKANE….FOUND!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

There are only a few reasons why Jade would take off her ring, which was a gorgeous white gold wedding ring her grandma left her when she passed. However, the reason that made her ring come off was not a reason she had ever considered. See, Jade was at a birthday party for her nephew, and it was in full swing. The pool was cool and refreshing. The drinks were delicious and overflowing. Jade’s family were all having a great time. Amongst all this glee there was a tussle that broke out. It was brother vs. sister; I’m pretty sure sister won. This led into a cousin falling down and Jade and a few others trying to pick up the poor fella. The night seemed to slip away into the darkness of a hazy birthday party. After the fog of a few too many had lifted, Jade’s hand that the ring was on felt a little off. As Jade brought it up into view, the problem became very clear. Grandmas ring was missing. The moments turned into hours, the hours turned into an afternoon, the whole family was in search and recover mode. They took a quick trip to the hardware store, and they had a metal detector in their grip. Swinging the coil around felt awkward. The myriads of signals played havoc on their confidence and ultimately left them feeling hopeless. Hopeless fingers got online and typed in a search term that brought up The Ring Finders website. The same fingers dialed the local Ring Finder.  My ears got to hear the sad story of how Jade lost her ring. Then I drove quickly to Jade’s mom’s house where the ring was hiding. Tracy, Jade’s mom gave me more details about that night before and how the ring probably was lost. I made a few passes over the most likely spot and then moved outward from there. After completing two grid searches on the grass I moved onto the unlikely areas. Behind the pool, in the trash can, in the neighbor’s yard and finally around the patio. As some of Jade’s family was leaving so was my hope in finding Jade’s ring. Talking about how I would search the house with Tracy, I decided to go over how the ring could be lost in the gap of the flower box and the fence. Both the flower box and the fence were giving off strong metal signals. Even though I had already searched with my coil and my pin pointer in this flower box I had not pulled back the grass and looked in the gap. As I shuffled through the weeds, I moved a pool noodle that was wedged in the gap. After not seeing the ring, I set down the noodle and got a very shocking glimpse of Jade’s ring. The eruption of emotion took over the moment. Jade had been inside the house when I said the famous Ring Finders words,  » I Found It ».  Tracy called to Jade and they both embraced in a hug with tears of joy running down their faces. Shock waves for happiness radiated out from that back yard.  The thoughts of a higher power at work crossed Jades mind as she looked up to sky at her late grandma smiling down on her. I know how mysterious Gods works are and that afternoon was no small miracle. Jade’s ring was found and I thank the God for that. Thank you, Jade, and to your family as well for trusting The Ring Finders and believing in the goodness of people.

 

The Feisty Grand Kid loses Grandmas Wedding Ring

 

The first GOLD ring I ever found, went VIRAL!

  • from Meridian (Idaho, United States)

One of my favorite memories…

After finding my first ever gold ring while metal detecting, I did a little detective work to track down the original owner. The ring I found was a big 1960 gold class ring from a nearby high school. After a little research, I found that the school keeps photos of each graduating class in the main hallway. After finding the class of 1960 all I had to do was find the person with the same initials on the ring, and as luck would have it, there was only one match. I instantly punched his name into Google on my phone, and to my surprise, he was the first person to pop up. After contacting this person and asking him if he had lost a class ring, we set up a meeting so I could return it to him. He and his wife were thrilled to see the ring again after over fifty years of being lost, and I was glad I could be a part of its return.

After more than 50 years lost, the ring made its way back to the original owner.  It’s moments like these that remind me why I love detecting!
I shared the full story on youtube, and the video has been viewed over 2.4 million times.

Ring lost in the river, found with metal detector

  • from Meridian (Idaho, United States)

VIDEO- https://youtu.be/3jubKEZ7rqE

A family lost a ring in the river and asked if I could help find it. Using my new Minelab Vanquish 560, we searched the water and recovered it! This was one of those hunts that reminds you why metal detecting is so addicting. Not just the find, but getting to return something that truly mattered to someone.

Lost White Gold Wedding Ring in Ponderay Lake….Found!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

A Memorial Day vacation for Constantine and Silvana was winding down. All the fun filled activities planned for that weekend were almost completed. However, Constantine had one last challenge to attempt. He and his buddy wanted to do a cold plunge in the frigid waters of the Ponderay lake. Gritting his teeth as the cold-water bit into his feet, Constantine stepped quickly onto his paddle board. Then Constantine paddled out into about seven feet of water. After a few encouraging words from his family, he dove into the murky green water. As Constanine kicked off the board, the board floated quickly away from him. The shock of the ice-cold water gave Constantine a boost of energy, so he swam quickly to retrieve his board. Reaching for the edge of the paddle board, the wedding ring he was wearing left his finger and sank quickly into the lake. There was a video taken of Constanine during his cold plunge experiment. This gave me the confidence I needed when I showed up to search for his lost ring. I was told that the video showed him with and without the ring. Also, I got a forewarning for the ice-cold water. So, I brought all of my cold-water gear. The first few steps into the water gripped my ankles as the water made its way into my dive boots. The rest of my suit kept out the cold fingers of the winter snow runoff water. There was a distinct L shape Constanine made, while swimming around. I started at the very end of that L and made my way to where Constanine had jumped off and then climbed back onto the board. Each passing second seemed like an eternity to Silvana as she watched me searching. Silvana was probably playing the wedding over and over in her head because they had just gotten married two months before. The new wedding ring that Constanine had just started wearing, already held a lot of memories and sentiment to the both of them. At the very moment when hope was fading as I came close to the end of the L shape, I saw a very round shape sitting in the rocks. My first attempt to pick the ring up with the scoop failed. The water was just a little too deep, because as I tried to dive down, the buoyancy of my suit shot me back up to the surface. After failing twice, I collected myself and yelled to the crowd watching, “I found It!”. Their cheers put me back into the mindset I needed. My scoop was to my left sitting motionless. I grabbed it and went at the ring again. This time the ring fell gently into my scoop. As I passed my scoop up to Constantine, the whole dock worth of people where smiling and cheering. I have had a lot of scoops full that revealed a valuable item, but none of them felt as good as a successful ring find does. Blessings to you Constantine and Silvana, may God Bless your marriage and life together. Thank you for trusting The Ring Finders you two.

 

Ice cold water and Newlyweds don’t mix

Lost Engagement Ring Recovery at a farm in Grimsby Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another memorable recovery story!

Ryan contacted us by text after Emily had lost her ring the day before while feeding her horses. She had already spent hours that evening searching everywhere she could think of, but the ring had completely disappeared.

We started searching around the stalls and checked the areas where she had been working. Then we moved on to the feed bags and searched through them one by one. Down to the very last bag… we finally got the signal we were hoping for.

Sure enough, hidden inside the last feed bag was Emily’s missing ring!

Recoveries like this are a great reminder that lost items often end up in the places you’d least expect.

Another amazing recovery for an amazing couple!

Gold Wedding Ring Recovery Rochester New York

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another happy ending!

We recently received a call about a lost wedding ring that had disappeared while gardening. One minute it was on their finger, and somewhere between digging, pulling weeds, and working around the garden beds, it had vanished.

After searching through the area and carefully working our way around the garden, we finally got the signal we were hoping for. A few moments later, the missing wedding ring was back where it belonged.

Wedding rings hold so much more than just value — they carry memories and meaning. Recoveries like this are always rewarding!

Lost iPhone Recovery from The Grand River in Dunnville Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another successful recovery in the books!

We received a call from Amjad after an exciting day of fishing on the Grand River took an unexpected turn. He had just caught a fish and went to snap a photo of his catch when, in all the excitement, his phone slipped from his hand and disappeared into the water.

The phone had settled in about 10 feet of water, but the real challenge was the very poor visibility. After spending some time searching along the bottom, we were able to locate and recover it.

Nothing beats seeing the relief on someone’s face when a lost item is back where it belongs!

Lost White Gold Wedding in Hillyard Washington…..Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

There are not many reasons a husband would forget about his lost wedding ring. However, for Breydon, the new addition to his family caused a three-week pause from the time his wedding ring was lost. Then after that brief hiatus from looking for his ring, Breydon called The Ring Finders to help with the search. Following Breydon into the backyard I spotted two very playful kitty cats. While swinging my detector over the grass where Breydon was performing his workout, the kitty cats were playing and investigating my every move. This was an added distraction to the already challenging ground. The number of targets that lurked below the dirt kept my pin pointer buzzing. Each target mimicked the sound of a lost ring. I must have walked over Breydon’s rings a few times mistaking it for a large signal of buried rubbish. Nevertheless, a Ring Finder is there to uncover all targets to eliminate the possibility of missing the lost item. So, repeating my grid search over that spotty signal, allowed my pin pointer to take a break. The dried grass from Breydon’s mower bag was keeping the ring safe and sound inside of it, until I came along to liberate it from its hiding place. As I handed Breydon his ring back, it ended the three-week long torturing that he was going through. It is truly amazing that we get to be a part of an individual’s life story, and for Breydon, the birth of his daughter received one more happy detail to the already joyous event.

 

Where did the cat hide His wedding ring

North Tonawanda Garden Spring Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Karen reached out after losing her ring in the backyard while starting some spring cleanup. One minute it was on her finger, the next it was gone. No gloves and no clear idea where it slipped off, just the feeling it might be gone for good.

This was not just any ring. It represents 45 years of marriage. You could hear how much it meant.

We began searching the yard slowly, working through signals and covering the area piece by piece. Plenty of noise along the way, but about 30 minutes in, a clean solid tone came through. The kind that makes you stop.

And there it was.

Ring recovered and back where it belongs.
What an amazing Sunday morning.
